I have a few more key details to add now that I'm back in the USA that are noted below.

[see original]

Also present with Lee was a James Hunt, probably an alias as well. They asked the Nigerian president for $2.0 million to continue their investigations. Seems that Scientology's PI's are also Nigerian patriots now too.

Interestingly, Fashanu is no longer present anywhere for any meetings as the Scientology crooks continue to shed their masks. He is in fact persona-non-grata with most key Nigerians. Apart from asking for money, the Scientology PI's are also threatening some key Nigerians by suggesting that if they don't cooperate with Lee, then these Nigerians will be exposed as pawns of Babangida. This blatant blackmail is going to bite Scientology in the ass one day as each of these RICO predicate acts is documented.

Also, some Nigerian government officials are being followed everywhere in Abuja and Lagos. There is generally a lot of concern as these people believe that Scientology is behind strange occurences such as the disappearance of key documents relative to these matters from a government officials office in Abuja, the theft of address books and diaries from 2 prominent players in Lagos, the bugging of a CBN office in Lagos. These all may be pure coincidence that such things are going on to people intimately involved in this scenario. However, they sure do sound familiar to me.

I think it is fair to say that Scientology is so close to the edge now that they have the capability to be extremely dangerous. I would urge all who are in direct confrontation now with Scientology to exercise extreme caution.

One of the companies in question is Vitol, a London based oil trader that is lifting about 350,000 barrels per day of oil from Nigeria. Lukman and his close friend, Mohammed Barkindo, also a Scientologists have some interesting European Scientologists involved here as well. Lukman is also the Special Petroleum Adviser to the Nigerian President. Also, Barkindo is the Managing Director of Hyson and Carlson, a joint venture between Vitol and NNPC (the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp.). Seems like Lukman has been able, with his Scientology associates, to set up a oil mafia in Nigeria bigger than what Abacha was able to set up with his Swiss friends, Glencore Petroleum. Funny how Scientology says this stuff is bad if Abacha did it but it's cool for some Scientologists to pay off government people in Nigeria to facilitate their business. Might be Scieno double standards? Or, can it be the OT powers at work!

Other Lukman beneficiaries include Kase Lawal, Leno Adesanya, Crystal View Petroleum which is tied to Lukman's special assistant, Francis Kopolukan. Crystal View is VERY active in bidding for big offshore developement contracts in Nigeria. Those Nigerian mentioned in this paragraph are said to be Scienos but I've not yet seen any confirmations.

In the FASHANU'S DIABOLICAL CAMPAIGN post just posted to soc.culture.nigeria and crossposted over here by me, it goes into the blackmail campaign further, and claims that Fashanu tried to get bribes from Abacha's people to leave their names out of the report.

Plus this is quite dangerous for them, I don't really think they understand how dangerous it can be to play hardball in Nigerian politics, where some of these guys play *real* hardball.

These guys keep score, and the people they are shafting and threatening are not going to take this well. Scientology is finished in Nigeria.

Where this cult is involved there is no such thing as coincidence. They are up to their old games, stealing, lying and harassing. David Lee or whatever he's calling himself these days better watch his back should he be in Lagos again. They're really playing with fire, and if this isn't pure ignorance of what they're dealing with, it's yet another sign of how suicidally insane this cult is getting.

I knew as soon as Lukman came up that if the Scientologists were claiming you had committed crimes in Nigeria, that it meant that the cult itself had crimes in Nigeria, and probably some pretty big ones. Hasn't it been said in the past few years how mysterious it is that Nigerian budgets have reported massive deficits in the past few years despite supposedly massive oil resources?

I wonder if that missing money Fashanu is going on about and trying to blame you for has more to do with his master Abacha, and his Scientologist buddies. This could get quite interesting, in the curse sense of the word "interesting."

I can find absolutely NOTHING about this Hyson and Carlson thing. I find it surprising that something this big would have absolutely NOTHING about it. Things that big simply do NOT go entirely without notice without some major effort.

This might be a good place to start digging.
